Regrettably, the situation of the Ceroni family is not going well, they are always ups and downs, and the successive blows make Ceroni miserable, so he often drank his sorrows with alcohol, which soon became a habit, and some people around Innumerable taverns, in defiance of the law, under the guise of liberty, lure the lost souls into the water and sell them alcohol.He soon became more and more frequent and more frequent in drunkenness, at first morose, then easily irritable, then hard-hearted and ruthless, pouring out his wrath upon his misfortune. woman venting.There are many times of torture almost every day, not punching and kicking or throwing pots and bowls, mixed with obscene language, the wife has been abused, often with bruises and bruises, similar to those unfortunate women in the past, only climbed to the cross of death in pain .

In fact, Dulia could and should have parted ways with this inhuman beast, but she never did. She seemed to belong to the kind of woman who, once committed to others, would never turn back even if she was made to die.From a utilitarian point of view, this character is all absurd.But she did so, and it was not in vain. She finally used the true meaning of her behavior to let her ideology and morality reach an inspiring state. Graziina grew up in an environment like the current hell.When she was a child, she witnessed the scene of his father drunk and his mother getting punched, and this scene was repeated year after year, day after day.She heard Rachael, when he experienced the barrage of obscenities from that wine-smelling mouth, that would be a repetition of her parents' old life!

She had lived and seen this way of life when she was an innocent girl who knew nothing but play, and she realized that she had to be ready to fight. Graziina, at the age of sixteen, has already become a serious girl who has to be wary of everything.She strongly hopes that she can change this painful life. Her tall stature, brown hair, and a pair of charming eyes can reveal her beauty. As in the past, as a child, disgusting, fed up with that horrible life. Rachael's unreasonable behavior made the family unable to make ends meet, and had to spend money to buy alcohol. Not only could he not go out to make money for a living, but he also had to spend money on potion.Step by step, they went from poverty to impoverishment, so that there was no sun and nowhere to go. In the end, like other families in decline, they had to leave their homes and wander in foreign countries, hoping to find good luck and auspicious stars in the new world.In this way, the Cerrone family traveled non-stop through France, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Americas, and finally settled down in San Francisco. The turbulent life lasted for fifteen years.In San Francisco, the home was empty and there was nothing. When Lachale opened his eyes during his waking hours, he found that what he had done had completely ruined a good home.In addition to his wife's begging, he could also listen to it. Over the years, he actually agreed wholeheartedly that he must abandon evil and do good, and change his past.

It's really not bad, he is indeed a promise, for more than half a year, he has been diligent and conscientious, and he has never patronized small hotels. The big number, five hundred francs, was handed over to the immigration company named Awan.Dulia rekindled her hope and longing for happiness again, but when she encountered the experience of the Jonathan again, she naturally thought that her glimmer of hope would be shattered! Rachael was bored, and in order to pass the time, he went out to meet people, of course, to find people who had the same smell and taste as him.They have nothing to do like him. These people lead a life of indulgence, and they lose their souls all day long. They all consciously or unconsciously regard Le Corgi as a leader, so when Le Corgi and the others go out, these people have the opportunity to come out wantonly. Do what they want, so the rascals take the casks of rum schnapps salvaged from the Jonathan's ship for their own, and revel in there.In fact, the incident was not surprising to these rascals, who were stimulated by alcohol and relapsed into their base and dirty natures. Lachale decided to go home after drinking, and his wife He and his daughter are waiting for him, and his wife is crying for his behavior, her heart is cold and her legs are weak, and she is at a loss.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he began to repeat his past crimes when he was a drunkard. He made excuses, said that the food was not cooked and was furious. Aroused the excitement of his alcohol, so he began to swear, and then hit people. Graziina didn't move at all, her heart felt cold and aching. Looking at her despicable and shameful father, she felt very complicated. She was completely discouraged, because the fire of hope she had just ignited was about to be wasted, and she fell into the abyss of pain again. Tears flowed down her haggard and painful face like beads of thread. dripping.

Come on, do you want me to crush you for you?Rachael yelled furiously. He grabbed his wife's neck, and Graziina struggled desperately to free her mother, who was about to suffocate. A tragic pantomime, all in silence save for Rachael's hoarse insults, neither Graziina nor her mother shouted or pleaded for help, a father beating a child and a husband beating his wife is not an honorable thing , Family ugliness should not be publicized, it is useless to publicize it. When the executioner just let go of Dulia, the dying woman let out a hoarse cry because of the pain, which happened to be heard by Le Corgi who returned to the camp. Her neck was getting tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder, which caused him so much pain that he had no choice but to let go, and jumped from one end of the tent to the other. What's the matter?He gaped. be honest!A commanding voice command. Needless to say, the drunk suddenly drooped his head like a frosted eggplant, and his anger seemed to have gone to Java. He collapsed on the ground and fell into a sound sleep. Le Corgi bent down to look at the unconscious woman, and rushed to rescue her.Algie, Lordes, and Altleble followed, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation at the sight. Du Liya finally opened her eyes, and seeing these strange faces, she began to realize suddenly, but the first thing she thought of was that she must forgive her husband who had tortured her with extremely cruel means just now.

Thank you sir!She hurriedly stood up from the ground, it doesn't matter, the matter is over, I was so frightened, it seems a bit silly! It would be the same for anyone who encountered this kind of thing.Le Corgi said. No way, Doria retorted, Rachael is not a bad person, he was just joking Does he often joke like this?Le Corgi asked. Never, sir, never!Doria is still defending him, Rachael is a good husband No, a firm voice interrupted her. Le Corgi and his companions turned around at the same time. In the corner of the dark tent, there was a lantern hanging with yellow light. Until now, they hadn't noticed the neglected Graziana.

who are you, boyLe Corgi asked. His daughter, Graziina, pointed to the drunk and answered. Although their voices were loud, they could not disturb the sound sleep of the drunk. What a shame we suffer!I must tell you all, to convince you of my misfortune, and to help my poor mother!Graziana said. Glazierna!Du Liya made a cross with her hands, begging bitterly, trying to stop her. I say it all!The girl said categorically that this is the first time we have met people who are upholding justice, let them know what happened, sympathize with us and help us. Speak up, boy!Le Corgi said kindly, don't worry!We will help you and protect you.

Encouraged, Graziina, out of breath, spoke openly of her mother's miserable life and the price her mother had paid for it.She described her mother's docile and noble qualities, her father's bad behavior, and sometimes demonstrated some of his father's vicious methods of punching and kicking her mother.She spoke of their former lives, even of misery, often without clothing, without food, and sometimes without a shelter, and living in the streets, and she praised her mother's fidelity and supreme tenderness to her husband's abuse. . Listening to this weeping description, my mother couldn't help crying. Her daughter's words made all the torture and torture in the past vivid in her mind, and made her heart feel like a knife.The accumulated oppression made Du Liya disheartened and submissive, and she was no longer able to fight against her violent husband!

You're right to tell all of these things, boy!After listening to Graziina's bitterness, Le Keji said to her very excitedly, don't worry, we will never let go, we will help you and your mother, but tonight, she needs a good rest, I hope She will sleep well tonight and have sweet dreams of a bright future. When they came out of the tent, Le Keji, Ali.Lordes and the others looked at each other, and I looked at you without saying a word. They were really suffocated by an extremely shameless and depraved person like Rachael, so they talked loudly after they came out. Breathing, to release the boredom and depression in their chests, suddenly they realized that someone was left behind, and Algie was not with them. Le Corgi guessed that the young man was still at Cerrone's house, so he entered the tent again, and as expected, Algie was still there, as if he was completely attracted by something, so that his companions left, He hadn't noticed it yet, let alone noticed that someone was looking for him again. He stood by the canvas wall, staring at Graziaina, his face full of pity and sympathy, and at the same time mixed with affectionate eyes, Graziaina was away from him. About a stone's throw away, she lowered her head and let his attentive eyes sweep over her, neither of the two young people spoke. looking at each other. Le Corgi smiled knowingly. Algie!He shouted in a moderate voice. The young man shivered involuntarily, and suddenly he got out of the tent and went forward with them. The four long-distance travelers were silent, each thinking about what they saw and heard just now.Le Corgi frowned, thinking about how to help these two women, and what method to save them. He thought, the only way is to cut off the source of alcohol for these alcoholics. This method is feasible, and it is not It takes a lot of effort, except that there is wine on the Jonathan, which is now piled up on the beach mixed with other substances. In Khost Island, wine is a strange item that has never been heard of. It's enough for two people to guard it. But, who arranges the guards?Who dares to issue orders, issue prohibitions, and restrict the freedom of the same kind casually?Who dares to impose his will on others and act as a leader, there is no leader on Khost Island. On the other hand, as far as ability is concerned, people are divided into high and low. So, who is the person with extraordinary ability?If it wasn't the man who saved them from death, if it wasn't the man who knew this desolate area like the back of his hand, if it wasn't the man who surpassed everyone else in intelligence, who would it be? To deceive oneself is an act of cowardice, and Le Corgis himself knows that, the poor mortals look eagerly at him, they use their collective strength precisely because of his command, and they take encouragement from his command , suggestions and decisions, whether he wants to or not?All trust in him, and he cannot escape the responsibility they have entrusted to him.There are indications that the vast majority of the survivors have already acquiesced that he is the only one who can be the leader. is it possible?An absolute liberal, who can't stand any rules and regulations, but let others put him in shackles, the law will be made by those who abandon it, what a joke in the world!He was an apostle of anarchism, a true believer in the famous maxim No God, no master, and he was to be pushed for a leader!The power they were trying to give him was something he hated in the depths of his soul. Will he accept the ordeal that loathes him?Go away, or stay with these willing slaves, and what will be their fate when they entrust themselves to this liberal?Will this rebel turn his back on people's suffering?If human beings can live on illusions, then human beings cannot be called human beings. He indulges in illusions, turns a blind eye to real life, and categorically denies the existing facts. He cannot make up his mind and let go of his burden. What about alleviating human suffering and standing up?There are theories that prove that when the interests of others demand to abandon the old and start the new, the old things will be completely smashed. It will be a huge project, but is this argument clear at a glance? People haven't seen so many drunks tonight, there are probably many more, lesser known alcoholics out there, some in these honest crowds who drink so much they can turn a blind eye and be tolerant ?It may cause people to quarrel, fight, and even commit murder. Don't you feel that this toxicity is spreading and taking effect?Didn't the catastrophe wrought by this torment be seen from the house of Cerrone? People came to the tent of the Lodes family, ready to part.Le Corgi is still hesitating, but he is not a person who evades responsibility. At the last moment, he finally made up his mind. He made up his mind after a lot of painful thinking. turn around. Do you think the crew of the Jonathan were committed to their duties? Except for Sailor Kennedy and Chef Siriday, I can vouch for the others, said Altleble. How many people do you have? Including me, there are fifteen people in total. Do the other fourteen people listen to you? certainly. What about you? I Is there anyone else here who can command you? It is you, sir, of course you.Altlebull's answer seemed the most natural thing to do. Why? why not!Mr. Altlebull said vaguely, a little awkwardly, that it was no different here than anywhere else, and that the people did need leaders, that was self-evident. Why am I a leader? No one else can do it.Altleble said he spread his hands to show that what he said was irrefutable. His words are indeed understandable.There is no doubt. After a moment of silence, Le Corgi said in a firm and decisive tone: Starting tonight, you will send people to guard the cargo unloaded by the Jonathan. The people under you will be divided into groups of two, and they will take turns to change shifts. No one else is allowed to approach, and you must pay special attention to the wine. Yes, sir.Altlebull answered bluntly, and after five minutes, he made the arrangements. Good night, Le Corgi said, striding away with a sense of resentment towards himself and others.
